Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
You need to get it on the ramps to inspect properly.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Whilst admiring my car Noticed some oil leaking down the rear o/s of the engine-Looking at the back of the rear o/s wheel you can see it:sad: Haven't a clue where the RMS is. I suspect it isn't. It doesn't seem that bad as theres no oil on my garage floor. Any advise :?:

POST 3Original post

Does it look like it's dripping from a large nut? If so, might be the cam chain tensioner adjuster seal. Not uncommon.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Shining a torch down the back of the rear wheel you can't see much. I'll see how it goes. :?:

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Oil leak was finally diagnosed as a oil pressure switch, and was repaired at a very reasonable £90 at a OPC. :thumb:
